Being Human Quotes

“Economics is the tool we hide behind today in order to justify an abhorrent track record of abuses of human rights and degradation of our natural world.
Ultimately, the economy feeds not by being an integral part of the natural world, but rather by feasting on its heart.”
― Steve Carlsson, Being Human: A Question of Survival

“Through all the years of considered opinion and thoughtful contribution that offers to explain the human condition, we are yet to see evidence of change which reflects the intent of that wisdom and thought. Until the wisdom offered is no longer required, humanity is destined to build fragile civilizations. This fragility, demonstrated through the ages, arises from an ongoing rejection of humility that, if nurtured, would form a foundation of connectedness and solidarity between people. On this foundation, a lasting future would be written into our history books (Steve Carlsson 2013).”
